My Childhood Obsession Involved Three Lights

Traffic Signals. Yes, really.


I honestly couldn't tell you why but they were a huge part of my childhood. I made them with legos and anytime new intersections in town got signals or upgraded signals, I was super intrigued.


I wanna be that guy


1st signal in Kansas City


Some of the next photos came from here.


Even artistic.




I liked normal signals but unusual intersections and signals intrigued me as well.



Tipperary Hill signal - purposely like that.


3M signals. Futuristic and evil looking.


Canadian.


Abandoned signals. Will touch more on this in a later blog.


I really can't say why this became an obsession. It just did. If Inhad been a child today, signals are much easier to acquire now. Toys or real. I am also red/green color blind so again, I am not sure why.


My mother and father conspired to get me one when I was 12. My dad even wired it up to work. I have pictures, just not at this moment.


(Future image of my signal).


Right now, I have one hanging over my work station at home. Found it at Hobby Lobby.



With my youngest sons obsession with trains, I wonder if this is my future backyard.


Excellent home setup and collection.
